Dmitry,
You should be able to set it in /etc/auth.conf, but that doesn't work for me.

You can instead run crypt_set_format("md5") to set the default for your prog
to md5 or blf for blowfish.

You could also make sure that your salts start with $<digit>$ wich would then
set the algorithm used in encryption, more info on this in the crypt(3) manpage.
